A maple longbow is created by attaching a bow string to a maple longbow (u) with at least level 55 Fletching. Fletching from a maple log yields a total of 116.5 experience (58.3 for fletching and 58.2 for stringing). The maple longbow differs from the shortbow only in terms of speed and range, they share the same Ranged bonus. However, the maple shortbow is usually preferred over the maple longbow due to faster attack speed. Both the maple longbow and maple shortbow can be bought at Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock.
